As part of a study to look at the effects of the Christmas fires in the
catchments behind Wollongong (south of Sydney) I have spent the last couple
of days marking sites for survey work later in the month. A few interesting
sightings compared to the surveys that we did last year, so I am looking
forward to the actual survey work.
Rufous Songlark - 1 skulking in a dry sedge swamp in the burnt area Woronora
(30/9). None recorded last year.
White-browed Woodswallow - at least 6 in burnt areas in Woronora (30/9).
None recorded last year.
Pallid Cuckoo - 3 heard/seen at various locations (30/9). 1 record in all
the surveys last year.
Black-faced Monarch - 3 heard at two locations in Cataract (1/10). First for
the year
Chanel-billed Cuckoos have also arrived in Como (southern Sydney) on
Saturday 28/9.
Cheers,
Peter
